Many women, crossing the threshold of menopause, with the last menstruation are ready to put dreams of sweet pleasures on the far shelf, putting an end to themselves as a woman. A very rash decision, considering that modern women spend about half of their lives in postmenopausal women.
With the approach of 55-60 years old, you can finally live for your own pleasure: you have already achieved career success, realized yourself in a mother's role, and raised grandchildren. Live and enjoy life, travel, learn new and interesting things, but all of a sudden you don't want anything, an evil climax aunt knocked on the door not only with her fever and hot flashes, but also with reduced libido, anorgasmia and dyspareunia.
Scary words? Let's figure out what it is and why it is so difficult to achieve such a sweet sensation as in your younger years.
Orgasm is the final moment of sexual intercourse, associated with the peak of sexual pleasure, which is associated with both the psychological and physiological spheres of the woman.
The first and most frequent thing women 45-50-55 and older encounter is dryness, burning and easy vulnerability of the skin and mucous membranes in the intimate area. Sometimes sexual contact does not bring not only satisfaction, but also causes a feeling of discomfort, pain and even trauma to the walls of the vagina and external genital organs.
This is due primarily to the physiological deficiency of estrogen. With age, the number of follicles that produce female sex hormones in the ovaries decreases. Following the deficiency of estrogen, the elasticity and moisture of the skin and mucous membranes also decrease, and female beauty is lost.
Also, due to the lack of female sex hormones and the thinning of the thickness of the integument of the genital organs, infection easily joins, cystitis, vaginitis, and bacterial vaginosis can develop and often recur. All these conditions lead to burning, itching, pain both during intercourse and throughout the day.
The next, but also common reason for the lack of orgasm at an older age is genital prolapse.
Childbirth, overweight, a sedentary lifestyle, constipation lead to the fact that the muscles of the perineum, which hold all the pelvic organs inside the pelvis, weaken, lose their elasticity, sag. As a result of all this, prolapse of the uterus develops, which can be of varying degrees: complete (the entire uterus is outside) and incomplete (part of the vagina, the cervix is outside). The descending uterus, which has ligaments with other organs, in case of an unsatisfactory state of the frame of the anterior or posterior wall of the vagina, pulls either the bladder or the rectum with it.
And now we imagine a picture: a wide flabby vagina, in which the uterus is hanging, constant urge to urinate and even urinary incontinence, constipation … what kind of orgasm can we talk about? There is a clear decline in the quality of life in general, and not just sexual.
All of the above problems can be easily solved together with your gynecologist. With dryness, the doctor will prescribe a moisturizer, with the thinness of the epithelium - estrogen-containing creams, gels, suppositories, tablets. If you are diagnosed with genital prolapse, the doctor will teach you special intimate gymnastics or, if the process has gone far, will offer the most optimal option for surgical correction of the prolapse of the pelvic organs.
Be healthy, loved, happy and satisfied!
